The new entity would focus on private markets multi-management and alternatives investment management, particularly in the area of managing unlisted assets such as agriculture, infrastructure, credit and private equity.
Pinnacle’s managing director, Ian Macoun, said that the move was expected to further strengthen the firm’s commitment to the LIC market.
Alterum would also take the assets managed in LICs by Pinnacle affiliates to over $2 billion while Pinnacle would be the majority shareholder of Alterum.
